Had to turn season one off. It starts strong with the heartbreaking death of an enchanting and clever woman of color at a Halloween party, and descends into Wondery taking 6 episodes to defend the black man who probably did it. Extra vomit points for disregarding the fact that his stepsister,...Read full review »

I don’t know if it’s a speech impediment, but I have to listen way too loud In order to hear the end of the host’s sentences. It’s difficult and frustrating to listen to someone who drops phrases like that. Otherwise it’s a great podcast. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Season 1 was a fascinating case, but the writers spend most of the time discussing their beliefs on racism, rather than just providing the facts of the case. This is not a true crime podcast.

Interesting contrast, but too political for my taste. I was hoping for a more balanced prospective. Disappointed.

I’m baffled at how Emmanuel’s prior violent rape charges are so overlooked by these journalists. Do they know how difficult it is to convict someone of rape? For him to be convicted of this crime in the first place is a really big deal considering only 6% of rapists see jail time. I enjoyed the...Read full review »

By episode 4 of season 1 I was so sick of the racial aspect being presented that I unfollowed the show and gave up on it. I prefer a podcast that sticks to facts and the law.

Another white liberal podcast using capitalism to capitalize off the suffrage of a black man. Only thing the podcast hosts were hoping is that it was a white woman killed and not a minority Indian woman.

Finally! A true crime podcast with a happy ending! Great storytelling and the two main “characters” were so genuine and I loved Leon’s personality and his positive attitude even in the hardest of situations. Great listen . J-

By episode 5 of season one I gave up on the show. All they do is continue to push their racial views on the listeners and i got fed up. Not worth my time

Absolutely love season 3🤣 they make sure to address how they support the black struggle… all while being made fun of continuously by the people they interview

It’s been hard to find a true crime podcast that keeps me interested. The topic is never the problem, the way the story unfolds is. Ashley can tell a story like no other. True crime should never be taken lightly, but it deserves to be told in a way that keeps us interested & makes the...Read full review »

No more listing to this production companies shows if they continue to try and force people to pay $6 a month for Wondrey .
Bittah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/24
Political/racial views are pretty strong. Glosses over past criminal history (rape of minor) as it pertains to a rape/murder case when law enforcement is attempting to create a fact pattern. Sloppy police work, yes. Racially motivated investigation… possibly; however the host attempts to focus...Read full review »

Loved season 1 and I loved season 2 even more. Really well done. Update for Season 3- so well done. On both sides of this crime. Thank you for being sensitive to both families.

Was enjoying this podcast until it went completely WOKE. I’m so sick and tired of dishonest journalism!

Cdltrucker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/24
Currently on season 1 episode 6 and my husband and I feel flabbergasted that the host is excusing Immanuel’s CRIME of RAPING a minor and makes him some victim of race. He committed that crime and it’s utterly insulting to that young woman who was raped by him (seems also probably black) is nearly...Read full review »

Thank you for seeking the truth in this case I went to school with Kasey. I hope the suspect in Florida is arrested. Not seeing the Police report I was wondering was Kasey robbed that night before he was shot?
ACHAAK via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/23
The male journalist conveniently glosses over the fact that Emanuel is a convicted rapist of an underage girl. Fails to mention his warrant is for failing to register as a sex offender. Fails to mention the horrific details surrounding the rape conviction. He blames the conviction on race and...Read full review »

Ugh
It started out so good, then became so woke. So disappointing. Where is honest journalism anymore?
Skcrooks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/23
The host is very bias and completely disregards that Emanuel is a felon. He’s so woke that he paints this picture that Emanuel is a saint and that because he’s black, they targeted him. Emanuel has a large rap sheet of crimes and one of them happens to be bc he’s a SEX OFFENDER and raped a child....Read full review »

Listen to how they down play and down right ignore the significance of his child rape conviction and sexual offender status . In order to fit woke narrative, they convince you it’s all about race and has nothing to do with a rapist sex offender being a suspect in a case where there are signs...Read full review »
long ducka donger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/23
I’m shocked to see you supporting redhanded who thinks the death and dying of indigenous women is funny. They openly ask their fans to cheat in order to receive podcasting awards and they don’t even know the names of their victims - and not just on one occasion. They are podcasting for money...Read full review »

I listened to series 1 and found it well made, well put together. Now I started listening to series 3 and I am captivated by the story and I enjoy having the trial/investigative side to it as well and all the problems at trial with evidence , inadequate lawyer.

I finished Season 3 in 2 days and I legitimately cried when I heard Leon got out!! I feel so happy for him and y’all with all your hard work!!
Amymaleigh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/23
Season 1 was a fantastic story, i am beyond amazed on how cameron just got off the hook with three dna samples that contained his in one. He needs checked again and pressured like emanuel was, but again great story telling can’t wait for season 2!😎
Kingtytackett23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/23
I don’t care if you have a biased, just don’t say your unbiased right off the rip. Makes you untrustworthy.

Great podcast! Doesn’t do a lot of recapping which I really love

So good
123yikesonbikes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/23
Thanks so much for being so thorough in your investigation, especially in your final episode with Leon and Casey’s sister reconciliation! Also, it was great to hear that you included your daughter so she could witness forgiveness at work!
USA Mknitter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/23
I came into the show on Season 3 and it was amazing. The bonus episode had me in tears. Thank you for such great work.
Marty Sugar via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/30/23
Wonderful work on this latest season. Touching as always. Great job Mabel on the credits in the bonus episode. You did a terrific job!
Goldensnitch320 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/23
The authors do a great job on the content and make a really compelling case for the innocence of Leon. Such a travesty and I’m glad they brought this case to light. The only reason I gave it a lower rating is due to the annoying, grating inflection used by Matthew. I’m not sure why he chose this...Read full review »

Incredible! Words don’t justify. It’s a must listen, especially all the way up to the very end. 🩷 What a champ through those hard names.
krismarieeee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/23
This podcast has become my daily listening. I moved away from sensationalized true crime content. This production is truly surrounded around the victims, all of them, and treats everyone with fairness. The investigative journalism work is top tier and the empathy of the whole team is palpable....Read full review »

Thank you for the special episode this week! Love that they were able to meet and connect. Unrelated, but having your daughter read the closing credits was the cutest thing i’ve ever heard!
Paleo Jo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/23
I loved the series. The bonus episode was just exceptional. That those two could come together like that and connect, share and forgive that way, reminds me that the good souls will always win. Thank you for making this

Story and production value are good, but then it became a diatribe about race. I’m lifelong democrat/progressive and even I found it to be exhausting. Too bad, it had the makings of a captivating story.
Rushisnumberone via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/23
Started out great but… it ended up turning into a race issue. Kinda felt woke and the podcasters were trying to throw the police under the bus.. 🙄
QUEENZBEES via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/23
I love this podcast. I cried so hard throughout the last episode of season 3!! The reporting is respectful, interesting, and those lawyers + PI in S3 were amazing. I love how they let us see their humanity and passion and I was so proud of them for how they stuck to the case. Despite S3 being my...Read full review »

So happy for Leon. While I understand this affects the victims families too. I got the sense from Coleen that she doesn’t care that Leon had 25 years taken from him and only wishes “somebody” be in prison for the murder, but not the “right” person. Leon’s case wasn’t dismissed because of just...Read full review »

All of you do amazing work and keep us so into each episode. Thank you for what you do!
msT_73 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/23
Season 3 was very well done. We forget that for every person that gets exonerated for a murder they didn’t commit, there’s a family and loved ones of the person who was killed that has to comes to terms with it.

You can’t listen to conclusion unless you pay. Is that made clear upfront?
